I felt a lot better before the late late late Gaitan score correction from a 7 to a 3…especially since he was my captain. I tried all the a-roos possible, but couldn’t quite hit …

So who dethrones him at the top of the list? 1) Diego Valeri Valeri played only about 25 minutes in the Open Cup against LAFC on Wednesday and is …

Week 18 Review Week 18 left a lot to be desired for the Behind the Number Team. I didn’t do a good job picking the team or managing the team and it hurt.

Week 12 Recap When all the dust and glitches settled, the Behind the Numbers Team mostly just managed to tread water this week. 145 points on the week as only good enough to fall 20 placed in the rankings to 174 overall and not gain or lose any team value. Thankfully, I came to my senses before game time and …

Week 9 Recap The surge back to respectability for the Behind the Numbers team continued in Week 9 with a respectable 128. This brought the total score to 840 on the season and cracked the top 400 at OR 392. Magically/Disappointingly, the team value treaded water at a +0 keeping the TV at $121.8.
